The Gaaette's Kohala Letter.

KoHALA, March %, 1887.
We have had full week of clear weather,
and / am afraid we are little unbalanced
by so much of the unexpected. However,
there seems to be determine ton to bear
up under it.
We are really to see the Japs, too, for our
district has guaranteed the five hundred dol
lars, and the first performance will take
place on the night of Saturday next. All
are looking forward to having their nerves
strained and their hair made to rise in the
awful delight of grand and lofty rambling.
Great preparations are in progress for the
success of the fancy ball which comes off
April 18th. There are numerous consulta-
tions and mysterious whisperings among the
women, and the men are raking their hair to
find ideas for something original, as well as
suitable.
The musicale, too, is progressing, and its
object being very worthy one, namely the
covering of the cushions IN the pews of the
Union Church, it is hoped that there will be
a full house in attendance.
A most distressing disaster occurred at
Kohala plantation the day before yesterday.
Portuguese teamster was thrown from his
saddle on one of the mules the team being
frightened, started up, and the wheels passed
over the mans leg, close to the body, frac-
turing the bone.
DR.. Sheldon, of Maui, is still in Kohala,
and kept very busy. l have been told lit is
probably an American conceit) that the
American dentist is appreciated the world
over. The many people to be seen who are
either going to or returning from the gentle
mans Office would imply that there was some
foundation for the statement.
The Kynnersley families have returned,
and with them Miss Ethel Wodehouse.
Another candy pull at the house of Rev.
A. Ostrom tonight. Why was l left out, 1

sci, and merely declined to try the case. 1t
is very strange that any misrepresentation
should exist in the mind of the Deputy
District Justice in regard to his jurisdiction.
BY section ], 423 of the Civil Code Jurisdic-
ton is conferred upon Police and District
Justices, whenever master shall be found
guilty of any cruelty, misusage or violation
of the terms of the contract towards any
person bound to service, etc., to examine
into, hear and determine the complaint, etc.,
and if the complaint is sustained, to dis
charge the laborer from all obligations of
service, and he has power to punish the
master by fine, etc.
Section 9l5 of the Civil Code gives juris-
diction to District Justices to hear and deter
mine all civil cases whenever the amount in
controversy or the amount of plaintiffs de-
mand does not exceed 800, etc. This was
amended by the Act of July 10, 1874, which
merely increased the limit of jurisdiction TO
500. This law, which has proved Stun
bling block to the respondent, does not con-
fict with the law comforting special jurisdic-
ton on District Justices to try the cases of
complaints against employers of labor on
the part of their bound servants. The two
laws are upon different subjects. The two
Jurisdictions exist concurrently.
l can hardly conceive how any lawyer
could make such point or any Justice en-
terrain such view of so plain a law. As
regards the other point, that a civil suit for
wages is still pending between the same par
ties, this is no bar TO the suit to cancel the
contract. Arrears of wages might be recov-
cred even after a labor contract was annulled.
1 deem the cause shown to be insufficient,
and peremptory mandate may issue to the
said respondent to proceed to hear and deter
mine the complaint of the said petitioner,
Nakamura Munataro, against the said w. H.
Purvis, his master, giving reasonable notice
to both parties, and to pay the costs of these
proceedings.

Nothing of interest in business circles has
transpired during the week. Retailers are
still complaining OF dullness in trade, which
from present indications does not promise
well for the future. The wholesale dealers
and iobbers are filing good many orders
for the planters and dealers on the other
Islands.
The shipments OF sugar to San Francisco
during the week embrace five cargees, while
the receipts o. sugar from the other Islands
have been large. Rice Is also arrived freely
from the plantations.
Tomorrow Mr.. Levey will offer at auction
that valuable lot OF the corner of Fort and
Beretania streets, better known as the Moss
man premises.
On Saturday, Messrs E. P. Adams Il Co.
will offer that desirable private residence OF
Lunalilo street, built and owned by Mr.. C..
Duval. The lot Is a large one and the house
is new, with all the modern improvements.

Death of CAPTAIN Sutton.

News was received last night of the death
in San Francisco, at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. L. B. Smith, of Captain
Charles Sutton, formerly a resident of this
city, having resided here long time with
his daughter, Mrs. j. A. Woodson. He
was well known, especially among New
England people, in Sacramento. Captain
Sutton was native of England; when a
mere boy he went to sea. and coming 10
the United States, resolved to make it his
home. He settled at Gloucester, Mass,
where he married and raised large fam
lily. He maintained his home in Massa-
chusetts, though one of the pioneer ship
masters to enter the harbor of San Fran
cisco after American occupation. He
came to California to reside about 1862.
He followed the sea nearly all his life,
and for some fifty years was a
master in the merchant service. He was
one of the most trusted commanders in the
famous Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's expedition to the Arctic with view
of laying cable between the continents of
the two hemispheres. He had navigated
ships in about all the seas and oceans of
the globe, and few men had visited so
many seaports of the earth, was more OBJ
servant or treasured better what he saw
and learned abroad. Captain Sutton was
aged about rs years. and leaves a son, two
daughters and a number of grandchildren
to treasure his memory.

Learning the Facts.

The results of the work done by the Cen
trail and Northern California immigration
Association of this city are daily being seen
in a practical manner Yesterday morn
ing. two gentlemen, who had through
tickets for Los Angeles, left the overland
train at Newcastle, having been so favora-
bly, impressed with what they had heard
concerning this section of the State that
they desired to make personal examina-
ton. The agent of our association in Los
Angeles few days since made statement
to a large number of gentlemen in his office
as to the capabilities of our semi-tropical
north. They had formed different impress
sions, and in fact had been told by Los An
geles enthusiasts that all they would see in
Central and Northern California would be
a vast wilderness. The wide-awake agent
noticing a Florin fruit-grower passing
hailed him, introduced him to those pres
ent. and requested him to state what he
knew about the land in his particular To-
cality. He told them that after the first
year-and that year they paid all expenses
and something besides-strawberri paid
net never less than $3.50 per acre, and that
he could buy Just such land as bis for $40
per acre. but that he had no land for sale.
This statement, coming from a practical
fruit-grower, depressed the price of climate
there in the estimation OF those present,
and several asked for letters of introduce
ton TO the head Office in this city, where
they could obtain full information.

Police for the Capitol Grounds.

A bill passed the Legislature and received
the signature OF the Governor, providing
for the appointment of two police officers,
whose duty it will be to preserve order
and decency upon the Capitol grounds.
The grounds are the finest in the State, but
owing 10 the fact that they never have had
any police protection, they become a rem
devious for lewd and dissolute persons, so
much so, that decent people kept away
from there after night. Yesterday, IL ac-
cordance with the provisions of this Act
the Capitol Commissioners appointed Thos.
Walsh and VIM. Craig, two we'll known
citizens, to those positions, and in the fu-
fure the best of order will be preserved, and
any person or persons who infringe in the
least upon the laws of decency or propliety,
or disobey any of the printed rules and
regulations that are posted up throughout
the grounds will be taken to the lock up.

Another of Meyers SHIFTS.

In Department One of the Superior Court
yesterday the case of Daniel Meyer VS..
James n. Porter, Treasurer of the City of
Sacramento, occupied nearly the whole
days session. 1t is a suit commenced
about q year ago, when it came before Judge
Mcfarland on demurrer. Plaintiffs were
given leave to file an amended complaint,
and the case has been lingering along until
yesterday when it made its first appearance
before Judge Armstrong. Complainant
seeks for an order of Court directing that
the moneys remaining in any of the city
funds at the expiration of fiscal year be
paid into the sinking and interest fund.- for
the benefit of the bondholders, and es-
pecially aims at the $4,000 remaining in
the school fund on the first Monday in
April, 1885, though it is claimed that the
aggregate of the balances on hand then
was about $3S000 The defendants claim
that there is no authority for the transfer
of this money into the sinking and interest
fund, and that Mr.. Meyer and the other
bondholders are only entitled to the 90 per
cent of one per cent. on the total valuation
of city property. The testimony of City
Auditor Mckee was taken at length yes
terday afternoon, and the case was then
continued until next Friday at l P. NJ, to
give witness time TO ascertain what claims
there were against the funds in which there
were balances remaining, and what amount
Of money would be left.
